plz help guys =((( i just got my comp back and i wanna play cod4 >.<

 

Well only thing that is to low is my proc speed, mine is 2.2, needed 2.4, but that wouldnt make the game crash like this, it would just be laggish,

OS XP pro
512mb ram
160gb hard drive space
Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS

and i dont even have xfire installed since i just "reformated" my comp
so =(

It has something to do with direct x apprently, i dled from
http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html

i dont think im missing any DLL files, and im def not low on memory or hard disk space..so ye i have no idea...

 

btw proc is AMD Anthlon XP 3200+

 

It might have something to do with it... I have athlon xp2600, 2.0ghz and i just bought Bio-shock and it will not even load on my computer! I put dvd in and it shows nothing, looks like disk is empty. Maybe someone else can help but i think new games are just to demanding on older computers. Good luck,
